Keppel Offshore & Marine digital asset monitoring receives AiP

The AiP verified the digital programme suite and validated that the data collection infrastructure complies with the general principles of DNV’s class notation D-INF, qualifying Keppel O&M as a service supplier. The AiP also concluded that the services provided by the AssetCare solution can be used to qualify both in-service and newbuild vessels for the new DNV Smart notation, with the D-INF notation as basis.

The D-INF (Data Collection Infrastructure and Vessel Connectivity) notation sets out the requirements for the complete data collection infrastructure, including an onboard data server, a data relay component and remote data server, as well as the connection to shore. This applies to onboard equipment delivered by both the yard and the owner.

DNV assessed Keppel’s AssetCare system was in compliance with the principles described in DNV rules for fleet in service as well as for service suppliers engaged in condition monitoring of machinery onboard ships and mobile offshore units.

Keppel managing director, newbuilds, Tan Leong Peng said the company’s AssetCare system was developed in support of Keppel goals to help transition the sector to more environmentally-friendly technologies and operations.

DNV regional manager for maritime Cristina Saenz de Santa Maria said “As the industry pushes forward with the adoption of new technologies, it is important for cross-sector collaboration to ensure safe and sustainable operations."
